NEW YORK — A 92-year-old New York City woman died after her roommate allegedly strangled her and smothered her with a pillow Thursday morning because she was snoring, police sources told WPIX.

Veronica Ivins lived with Enrique Leyva, a 47-year-old man who is not related to her, in an apartment on Sullivan Street in Manhattan's SoHo neighborhood, sources said. He called 911 just before 7 a.m. to report himself, saying he snapped.

“I killed my roommate because I can’t take it anymore," he allegedly said, according to police sources.

When officers rushed in, they found her barely breathing on the floor.
